General Felipe Gonzales, revolutionary leader in northern Mexico, will be a candidate for the presidency of the republic of Mexico in the elections next year, men-connected with the Villa movement announced here tonight. General Angeles, now, the said, is in charge of all communications with foreign governments or other diplomatic affairs of the Villa movement and is second in command to Villa in mili- tary matters. Villa remains as commander-in-chief ; of the revolutionary forces in northern Mexico, according to the announcement. It also was announced that as soon as the time was deemed ripe, a provisional president would be named. This president will be a civilian and has not been chosen, they declared. There is close co-operation between General Angeles and Villa, the announcement said, adding that General Angeles will have the support of all the Villa adherents, regardless of candidates that might be put forward by other factions opposing the present regime in Mexico. The men making this announcement also declared neither Villa nor General Angeles had attended the conference i scheduled to be held in the state or Nuevo Leon late last month, when it was expected a working agreement would be attempted by all revolutionary leaders in Mexico. The reason was that they did not wish to send emissaries to the meeting and were themselves unable to attend because of the press of other matters demanding their attention.EL PASO, Tex., June 22. Central Mexico is more interested in the political fight between General Alvaro Obre-gon and Geenral Pablo Gonzales for the presidency, than in the militarydevel-opments-in the north, according to an American business man who reached here from the interior of Mexico today. He said the presidential contest had reduced itself to these two military candidates, both of whom have strong following. General Obregon is the" favorite candidate of the military party in Mexico, he said, while General Gonzales has the open support of the Car-ranza government. State elections now being held throughout the republic are proving tests of strength for the Obregon and Gonzales factions, with federal officials taking an active part in behalf of the government candidates, according to him. In the state of Neuvo "Leon, three candidates were in the field and each claim to have been elected, the American said. A summary of his account follows: "In Mexico City, feeling between the factions is strong and army officers are taking an active part in the cam paign. General Juan Barragan, chief or staff of the federal army, is one of the few army officers in favor of General Gonzales, and his open avowal of the government candidate has caused much feeling against him among the officers. Discipline has suffered as a result. Murguia Back In Favor "General Francisco Murguia, who was recalled from command of the northeastern zone at Chihuahua City, has been given command of the district, including Tamaulipas, Neuvo Leon and Coahuila, except for the Laguna district near Torreon- He was said in Mexico City to have been restored to. favor in the army because of his advocacy of General Gonzales. A number of officers who were favorable to General Obregon had been recalled from their commands and placed on the inactive list in Mexico City. "Wholesale graft had been uncovered in the army in Mexico. It is an open secret among army officers that military pay rolls have been 'padded' and military equipment and supplies charged for at a much higher rate than the market price, the difference being used for non-military purposes. General Jesus Agustin Castro,sub-secretary of war, was eent by President Car-ranza to Chihuahua City to eliminate the many forms of graft in the army there and to improve the morale of troops there. When he completed this task, he was recalled to take charge of the war ministry and General Manuel Dieguez sent north in his place." American mining men from isolated camps in the north are coming to the border by way of Torreon and Laredo, a number having been on the same train with him. While no outbreaks have occurred in these outlying districts, the refugees said, they no longer considered it safe to remain outside the larger cities. , Blis Airplane Base ' EL PASO. Tex., June 22.

With only desultory debate on the peace treaty J and its league of nations covenant ex- i pected as the result of republican leaders' decision not to call up the Knox resolution, congress will start tomorrow on a week of legislative action. The $888,000,000 army appropriation bill is to come up tomorrow in the sen ate and will be followed by the naval ap propriation bill- The sundry civil appropriation measure will be transmitted tomorrow to the senate and will come up for action immediately after the military measures. Senate leaders believe, with night sessions, that all-appropriation measures can be passed by June 30, but with President Wilson not expected to return before the first week of July, hiatus of a few days is certain to result. Final enactment this week of the bills to repeal the daylight saving law and to end government control of telegraph, telephone and other wires is considered assured. The house this week ie scheduled to devote its affairs largely to disposing of conference reports on the appropriation bills and prohibition enforcement legislation. Passage of the prohibition measure is expected -by the house, but with appropriation bills having the right of way in the senate, leaders doubt whether the prohibition law can be enacted by July 1, when it becomes effective. JUAREZ, Mexico, June 22.

Saturday, June 21. (By the Associated Press) More than half a million allied soldiers in the occupied areas stood ready Saturday night for a further invasion of Germany in the event that Germany does not accept the terms Even orders to the civilian population, printed in French, English and German, as framed by Marshal Foch, are ready for distribution in the districts and villages taken over by the allies. One order in the military regulations says that any house from which civilians m.' y fire upon the marching troops shall be burned immediately. Another order provides for the requisitioning of the railways, telegraphs, telephones and other utilities, as well as those employed in their services. About 100,000 Americans will move forward if the final order comes. The concentration just completed is America's greatest display of. strength since the armistice. Marshal Foch's proclamation says: "The allies entering into German territory will respect persons and property and will enable the German population to carry on their ordinary business, provided the safety and movements of billets and supplies of the allies are fully guaranteed. "AH the personnel of public admin - i istration must -remain at their places and continue to carry out their duties. Any infraction of these orders will be punished in accordance with military regulations. "All . persons showing hostility against the allied troops, whether in firing on them or destroying railways, roads- and waterways, or cutting or damaging telegraph and telephone lines, or in communication with the enemy, are amenable to military law. In all communes, all arms must be handed over to the area commandant one hour after the proclamation of this order " - FAST TRAIN DITCHED AURORA, Nebraska, June 22.

(By the Associated Press). A dispatch regarding the American peace delegation, late this afternoon from Weimar, said a decision had been reached by the Germans to ask further delay from the allies, but that later the social democrats and centrists found they had a sufficient majority in the assembly and decided not to sign the request. In high peace conference quarters, belief was expressed today that signing of the treaty would take place Wednesday.. There seemed to be no incli nation to grant the Germans any delay. With regard to whether the allied troops will move forward, if an affirmative answer is not received from the Germans at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, some of those in authority favor sending the troops forward immediately. Others prefer a delay of two or three days. The view of the council of four, after the meeting today, was that everything looked favorable to the signing of the treaty and that it was possible it might take place Tuesday. The council today discussed twelve points raised by the German note and sent a reply in effect that six of these were sufficiently covered in the i treaty and the other six would be made the subject of a protocol to be added to the treaty. The council today reached a conclusion regarding the protection of minorities in Poland. The reparation terms of the Austrian treaty were not completed and will be taken up again Monday. ' . L READY FORSEBK VERSAILLES, June 22 (By the Associated Press) Arrangements already have began to take shape at Versailles for signing of the peace treaty. Orders 'have been given to have everything in readiness Tuesday, although the ceremony, according to the Havas agency, is not likely to oo,-cur before Thursday. The famous gallery of mirrors has received its final furnishings The carpets have been laid and the ornamental table has been placed in position in front of the dais where the plenipotentiaries will be seated. There will be room for 400 invited persons. They will be given places in the left wing of the Hall of Mirrors, while the right wing will be occupied by about the same number of press representatives. The court of honor has been cleared of captured guns. Three regiments of infantry and five of cavalry will be on duty at the. time of the signing. Republican guards will render the honors. They will be stationed on the grand staircase by which the plenipotentiaries enter the hall. According to the Havas agency, diplomatic relations with Germany will not be resumed immediately on the signing of the treaty, but only after its ratification. This also applies to the admission of German subjects into France. National Assembly By Vote of 237 to 138 So Decides Action Comes About Through Change Of Government Bauer Becomes Premier Bernstorff Offered Head Of Peace Commission I Refuses To Serve Germans At-j tfcempt To Secure Reservations In Treaty Are Met With Stern Refu- sal By Council Of Four. i BERLIN, June 22. (By the Associated Press) ! Germany will sign the peace treaty. The national assem-jbly this afternoon, by a vote of 237 to 138, decided to ; sign. The assembly also voted confidence in the new gov- ernment of Herr Bauer, 236 to 89. Sixty-eight members abstained from voting. I On the question of signing the treaty, five members of the assembly abstained from voting. ! Before the vote of confidence was taken, Herr Bauer, the new premier, declared the government would sign the treaty, but without acknowledging responsibility of the German people for the war or accepting the obligations contained in the treaty relating to trial of the former em peror and extradition of other German personages. , WEIMAR, June 22. (By the Associated Press) In announcing the decision of the government to sign the peace terms, Premier Bauer said, before the national assembly today: "The allied and associated powers cannot expect the , German people to agree, from (instrument, whereby, without suited, living members are empire; German sovereignty prematurely vetoed, and economic and financial burdens imposed upon the German people." PARIS, June 22. (By the Associated Press) The council of four has definitely rejected the German suggestion that further alterations be made in the peace treaty. The council received four notes from the Germans, which are supposed to have been prepared in advance, and were held to await advices from Weimar on the result of the meeting of the assembly. President Wilson went a once to the residence of Premier Lloyd George where the council began consideration of the notes. One of these from the new German government, declared Germany was ready to sign peace if the clauses making Germany re sponsible for the war and calling for the trial of the former emperor were eliminated. The council, after certain notes, took its decision to reject the German request. PARIS. June 22. (By the Associated Press) A protocol to be added to the peace treaty, explanatory of the six points raised by the Germans, reads: "Firstlv. a commission will be named by the allied and associated governments to supervise demolition of the fortifications of Heligoland, in conformity with the treaty. This commission will be empowered to decide what nart of the coast, from erosion, should be preserved, and what de molished. "Secondly, the sums which Germany will have to refund to its citizens to indemnify them for interests they may be found to have in the railroads and mines, referred to in paragraph two. article 156, shall be placed to the credit of Germany on account of the sums due from reparation." The protocol refers to German private interests in railways and mines in Shantung, as distinct from German state interests.) "Thirdly, a list of the persons whom, according, to article 228. paragraph two,. Germany must surrender to the powers, will be sent to the Gertnan government during the month following the putting into force of the treaty. "Fourthly, the commission on repa ', rations, provided for by article 240 and paragraphs two, three and four of an nex four, cannot exact divulgence o secrets of manufacture or confidential information. Prosecutions Must Stand "Fifthly, from, the signature of peace and in the four months follow ins, Germany will have an oppor tunity of presenting for the execution of the powers, documents and propo sitions with a view to hastening the work relating to reparations, thus shortening the investigation and has tening decision. "Sixthly, prosecutions will be exer cised against those. committing crim inal acts in connection with tht liquidation or German property and the powers will receive any information and proofs that the German gov ernment shall be in a position to supply on this subject."

(,.. the Associated Press) Germany acquired a new cabinet after a week of literal sweating in blazing Weimar weather. The signing of. the peace i terms naturally was the only question around which the cabinet construction hinged and the government which went on record as considering 1 lie terms unacceptable, found a surprisin-: following behind them. The first party ballots, however, seemed to make the signing of the treaty inevitable, for the powerful majority socialist party voted two-thirds for ending the suspense. With the independents supporting them, thu conservatives, as a party, behind them, and the centrists on the fence, the result appeared a foregone conclusion. But the conservatives suddenly swung around and declared for non-signature, the centrists wavered and imposed conditions, and the democri. .. temporarily balked any hope of a majority by stubbornly persisting against the extradition by the entente of the former emperor and other German notables. This was the stumbling block, loi the democrats could not be budged from the attitude which they held, through the belief that a revolution would break out by the people if von Hindenburg and General Ludendoifl" and others be humiliated. Count von Bernstorff played , prominent part in the proceedings, not only as president of the German peace committee, but, according to persistent rumors, as the possible successm of Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, for there was a powerful group that wanted him to suffer the poetic justice of signing the terms, after he had helped to bring the United States into the war. Von Bernstorff Refuses Von Bernstorff, however, resisted. and after having been appointed the morning to the cabinet, refused to accept the appointment or have any thing to do with the matter. Latw in the day, the centrist dropped their demand for modification of the terms and expressed their willingness to sign. The demands also weakened to such an extent that fifteen of their 65 members in the assem bly went over to the side in favor of signature.

With only desultory debate on the peace treaty J and its league of nations covenant ex- i pected as the result of republican leaders' decision not to call up the Knox resolution, congress will start tomorrow on a week of legislative action. The $888,000,000 army appropriation bill is to come up tomorrow in the sen ate and will be followed by the naval ap propriation bill- The sundry civil appropriation measure will be transmitted tomorrow to the senate and will come up for action immediately after the military measures. Senate leaders believe, with night sessions, that all-appropriation measures can be passed by June 30, but with President Wilson not expected to return before the first week of July, hiatus of a few days is certain to result. Final enactment this week of the bills to repeal the daylight saving law and to end government control of telegraph, telephone and other wires is considered assured. The house this week ie scheduled to devote its affairs largely to disposing of conference reports on the appropriation bills and prohibition enforcement legislation. Passage of the prohibition measure is expected -by the house, but with appropriation bills having the right of way in the senate, leaders doubt whether the prohibition law can be enacted by July 1, when it becomes effective.

(By the Associated Press). A dispatch regarding the American peace delegation, late this afternoon from Weimar, said a decision had been reached by the Germans to ask further delay from the allies, but that later the social democrats and centrists found they had a sufficient majority in the assembly and decided not to sign the request. In high peace conference quarters, belief was expressed today that signing of the treaty would take place Wednesday.. There seemed to be no incli nation to grant the Germans any delay. With regard to whether the allied troops will move forward, if an affirmative answer is not received from the Germans at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, some of those in authority favor sending the troops forward immediately. Others prefer a delay of two or three days. The view of the council of four, after the meeting today, was that everything looked favorable to the signing of the treaty and that it was possible it might take place Tuesday. The council today discussed twelve points raised by the German note and sent a reply in effect that six of these were sufficiently covered in the i treaty and the other six would be made the subject of a protocol to be added to the treaty. The council today reached a conclusion regarding the protection of minorities in Poland. The reparation terms of the Austrian treaty were not completed and will be taken up again Monday. ' .

PARIS, June 22. (By the Associated Press) The council of four has definitely rejected the German suggestion that further alterations be made in the peace treaty. The council received four notes from the Germans, which are supposed to have been prepared in advance, and were held to await advices from Weimar on the result of the meeting of the assembly. President Wilson went a once to the residence of Premier Lloyd George where the council began consideration of the notes. One of these from the new German government, declared Germany was ready to sign peace if the clauses making Germany re sponsible for the war and calling for the trial of the former emperor were eliminated.

(By the Associated Press) A protocol to be added to the peace treaty, explanatory of the six points raised by the Germans, reads: "Firstlv. a commission will be named by the allied and associated governments to supervise demolition of the fortifications of Heligoland, in conformity with the treaty.

(,.. the Associated Press) Germany acquired a new cabinet after a week of literal sweating in blazing Weimar weather. The signing of. the peace i terms naturally was the only question around which the cabinet construction hinged and the government which went on record as considering 1 lie terms unacceptable, found a surprisin-: following behind them. The first party ballots, however, seemed to make the signing of the treaty inevitable, for the powerful majority socialist party voted two-thirds for ending the suspense. With the independents supporting them, thu conservatives, as a party, behind them, and the centrists on the fence, the result appeared a foregone conclusion. But the conservatives suddenly swung around and declared for non-signature, the centrists wavered and imposed conditions, and the democri. .. temporarily balked any hope of a majority by stubbornly persisting against the extradition by the entente of the former emperor and other German notables. This was the stumbling block, loi the democrats could not be budged from the attitude which they held, through the belief that a revolution would break out by the people if von Hindenburg and General Ludendoifl" and others be humiliated. Count von Bernstorff played , prominent part in the proceedings, not only as president of the German peace committee, but, according to persistent rumors, as the possible successm of Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, for there was a powerful group that wanted him to suffer the poetic justice of signing the terms, after he had helped to bring the United States into the war. Von Bernstorff Refuses Von Bernstorff, however, resisted. and after having been appointed the morning to the cabinet, refused to accept the appointment or have any thing to do with the matter. Latw in the day, the centrist dropped their demand for modification of the terms and expressed their willingness to sign. The demands also weakened to such an extent that fifteen of their 65 members in the assem bly went over to the side in favor of signature.
